Hi,

I am a techie working in the Bay Area as a Lead Software Engineer, I am 39 and have about 14 years of
experience in my field. My GMAT score is 710.

Given my age and background (which in my opinion is oversubscribed/represented), I'd like to know
what my chances are of being accepted into the FEMBA program at UCLA.

Thanks much.

What prior degrees to you have? and what GPA???
How many people do you lead? And how any promotions do you have?
Any notable extra-currics???

Otherwise, your GPA and age and years of experience is all good, but with a few more details, I could maybe be a bit more precise.

Well, your profile is above average for the school. The lack of promotions is a bit unfortunate, but you can easily turn that into an advantage, by using that as justification for you applying for this EMBA in the first place!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
